Mark, I use this approach in some custom "wizards" I've created for retrieving data from the 400. The client creates the data queue, calls an RPG program to populate it, processes the resulting records, then deletes the queue as part of a cleanup process. The time it takes to create the queue is measured in milliseconds, and isn't even worth worrying about when you consider the overall processing time required to transfer the records. Of course, this assumes that you're transferring dozens of records (or more) at a time. I certainly wouldn't use this approach for something like a lookup function which only returns a single record, yet is called many times.
